After looking at the difference in the mass distribution between massive spiral and dwarf irregular (dIrr) and low surface brightness (LSB) galaxies, the central Dark Matter (DM) concentration (flat vs cuspy) in dwarf and LSB galaxies, derived from observations, will be examined. We will then present what kind of observational constraints can be put on the total mass and total extent of DM halos from the studies of individual galaxies, small groups, satellites' dynamics and tidal tails of interacting systems. Finally, we will discuss how limits on the physical parameters of DM halos could be set by deriving extended rotation curves beyond the HI radius (r > rHI), using either Lyα absorption or Hα emission observations.
